Under the leadership of Max-Hervé George, SWI Group has taken another decisive step in its strategy to build one of the world's largest privately controlled portfolios of AI-ready digital infrastructure. SWI Capital Holding Ltd., the parent company of SWI Group, is listed on Euronext Amsterdam under the ticker symbol "SWICH" and has a market capitalisation of USD 3.3 billion. The transaction gives SWI Group an effective controlling stake of more than 70% in Genesis Digital Assets, a U.S.-focused digital infrastructure platform, while increasing its combined AI-ready capacity across Europe and North America to more than 3.6 gigawatts. The transaction significantly expands SWI Group's exposure to the rapidly growing artificial intelligence and high-performance computing sectors. The acquired platform includes 15 facilities, several of which are hyperscaler-grade sites located in Texas, a market increasingly viewed as critical to the future of AI infrastructure. The acquisition aligns closely with the long-term vision articulated by Max-Hervé George, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of SWI Group, who has consistently emphasized the strategic value of power access in digital infrastructure investing. "Power connectivity is the most valuable commodity in digital infrastructure today, and converting legacycryptocurrency mining infrastructure to AI and high-performance computing is the best and highest use of these assets," said Max-Hervé George. "We have been investing in power connectivity since 2020. This is what that thesis looks like at scale." The GDA investment complements AiOnX, SWI Group's wholly owned European data center platform spanning Ireland, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Spain, and Italy. Together, the two businesses represent a combined 3.6 GW of AI-ready capacity across North America and Europe, positioning SWI Group among the most significant owners of digital infrastructure assets globally. For Max-Hervé George, the transaction reflects a broader investment strategy centered on identifying sectors where structural shifts create long-term value. As demand for computational power accelerates worldwide, access to large-scale energy infrastructure is increasingly becoming a defining competitive advantage. With this latest acquisition, Max-Hervé George and SWI Group are seeking to capitalize on one of the fastest-growing themes in global markets: the race to build the physical infrastructure underpinning the AI economy.

England's head coach Brendon McCullum helps the players warm up on the opening day of the second Test against New Zealand at The Oval in London on June 17, 2026. (AFP) Brendon McCullum insists he can work alongside England's next Test coach despite being sacked from the role.McCullum was dismissed as Test boss following England's 2-1 defeat by New Zealand in a series that culminated in the international retirement of red-ball captain Ben Stokes.But McCullum remains in charge of England's white-ball teams and oversaw a 4-0 T20 series whitewash of world champions India.On Sunday, there was more success for McCullum's team, with a 27-run win at Lord's to seal England's first one-day international series victory over India since 2018.England posted 387-3 - the highest ODI total at Lord's - thanks to Ben Duckett's 141, with both Jacob Bethell and Joe Root contributing fifties.But while England's white-ball teams are making progress, the Test side are on a run of seven defeats in nine matches heading into a home series with Pakistan starting next month.Asked how he would work with a new Test coach in a potential awkward situation, McCullum said: "Collaboratively, I think. I think once the new coach is put in place, we'll have a good conversation around everything."I think ultimately as long as everyone wants what is right for English cricket, there will be some give and take on certain things. That is the way it is."Andy Flower, a former England coach, has ruled himself out of succeeding McCullum as Test boss. Jonathan Trott, an ex-England batsman, and former Australia coach Justin Langer are among the leading candidates to take over from McCullum.Former New Zealand captain McCullum has been buoyed by England's white-ball form ahead of next year's ODI World Cup in southern Africa."I think we've seen some growth in the side over the last couple of series and there is some more growth to come, which is exciting and where my focus is on," he said.

India's Rohit Sharma plays a shot during the third ODI against England at Lord's cricket ground in London on July 19, 2026. (AFP) Former India captain Rohit Sharma has dismissed speculation over his international future, saying his sole focus remains on representing the country and contributing to the team's success.The 39-year-old's comments came after he struck a blistering 138 off 110 balls in India's unsuccessful chase in the third and final One-Day International against England on Sunday, amid reports that the match at Lord's could be his last appearance in Indian colours. The hundred ended a lean run in which Sharma had gone 11 ODIs without reaching three figures, a stretch that fuelled questions about his place ahead of next year's World Cup in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia. However, the opener retained the backing of the team management."My job is with the bat, come and play, represent my country, represent my team. That's what I have been told to do since my debut so that's what I am going to do," Sharma said in an interview on the Indian cricket board's website."The noise since I made my debut was there. And till the time I am going to stay here, it is always going to be there."So it doesn't really matter too much. What matters is what I do on the field, try and contribute to the success of the team. That's all my focus is right now. And let the noise be there. If there is no noise, there is no fun."Despite Rohit's innings, India lost the match and conceded the ODI series 2-1.India next travel to Zimbabwe for a three-match Twenty20 International series from July 23-26 before touring Sri Lanka for a Test series next month.
